Encyclopedia
Angela Anaconda is a Canadian cutout animation
television series that aired on the channels Teletoon
and Fox Family
. It centers on the adventures of an eight-year-old girl named Angela who lives in the fictional town of Tapwater Springs, has wacky brothers, weird friends, and hates a snobbish faux-French girl named Nanette Manoir.
Angela Anaconda began as a short skit on the Nickelodeon
show Kablam!
. Angela Anaconda later became a series and was aired on Fox Family from 1999 to 2002. In 2001, when Disney
bought the Fox Family Channel and changed the network's name to ABC Family, Angela was moved and canceled after two months. The show aired reruns on Nickelodeon in 2004 only to be removed about a month later.
The show was created by Joanna Ferrone and Sue Rose, who also created the cartoon character Fido Dido
. Sue Rose created Disney's Pepper Ann
. The show was produced by DHX Media
and C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures
. It also airs on Teletoon in Canada. It premiered in the UK
on Cartoon Network
, and also aired there on PopGirl; it also airs on POP TV
in Slovenia and ABC2
in Australia. Sue Rose also voices the title character.
The show features a very distinct art style, reminiscent of Terry Gilliam
's animation
from Monty Python's Flying Circus
, in which all the characters are made out of cutouts of black-and-white
photographs.
The show now airs on Starz Kids & Family. There there are currently no plans for a DVD
release of the full series, though in the UK, Channel 4 released three separate DVDs containing in total the first 20 episodes.
girl, with freckles all over her face, and short brown hair. She dislikes her snobby Faux-French classmate Nanette Manoir, often calling her "Nanette Manure" and "Ninny-Poo" among other insults. As a result, Nanette tries, usually successfully, to get Angela in trouble. Angela often imagines situations where calamities befall Nanette while she gets the upper hand. Aside from Nanette, Angela also dislikes Mrs. Brinks, as she likes Nanette and punishes
Angela for things she never did, such as clapping erasers. In conversations, Angela tends to use overly complex syntactic constructions, such as "Thank you for that useless information that is totally useless." She is also known to frequently use the phrase "on account of."
, and is the object of a few crushes. Nanette tries to flirt with him and refers to him as "John" even though nobody else does. Johnny is privileged enough to be invited to exclusive Manoir events, usually bringing Gina, Angela and Gordy along, often against their will. Despite this preferential treatment, Johnny remains totally clueless about Nanette’s affections, even though he doesn't seem to dislike her like Angela, Gordy and Gina do (even in the episode "Puppy Love" he even cries at the fact that Nanette's poodle
was missing, though in the episode "Touched By an Angel-a" he is seen scowling at Nanette after Nanette insulted Gina about her weight and in the episode "Snow Mercy" after it is revealed that Nanette was the one who ruined Gina's first ever hot dog
he turns against her and showers her, January and Karlene with snowballs). Although he won’t admit it, Johnny may have strong feelings for Angela, as he becomes resentful of any rival for her affections. In one episode he sends Angela flowers but forgets to sign the card, and the credit for his gift goes to Angela's imaginary boyfriend Bob. Johnny likes to pick his nose and shoot spit balls (as he proudly reveals in the episode "Goodbye Mrs Brinks").
and other scientific paraphernalia
. Gina is best known for her appetite, which rivals that of any adult. She is always hungry and can even fall prey to Nanette Manoir if she is bribed with her gourmet chef's cooking. Gina’s favorite foods include Abatti's Pizza, cinnamon swirls, jiggly fruit and Tastee Swirl ice cream. Gina worships the mascot for Tastee Swirl, a man with a whipped ice cream head who dispenses ice creams from his truck, and Tiny Dottie Cake. Gina, who is overweight, does not let jibes about her appearance affect her but remains happy and confident (though in the episode "Touched by an Angel-a" she angrily calls Nanette "Ninny-wart" after Nanette maliciously said, "I could eat and eat and eat and not gain an ounce, unlike some people around here," and then glaring at Gina). Gina lives with her mother, who is single (until she begins dating a rather buff co-worker, and later Gordy's father Coach Rhinehart). Her father is never mentioned on the show, implying that her mother is divorced. Gina also owns a pet turtle called Sheldon who eats a lot of carrots (who only appeared in the episode "Turtle Confessions").
who prefers pressing flowers, housework and writing poetry to "dangerous" activities like tag or hide and seek, and is best known for his many allergies. Gordy, who wears large, square spectacles, is skinny and physically weak, the complete opposite of his burly ex-Army dad Coach Rhinehart. Despite being so unalike, their father/son relationship is very strong and they show genuine love and concern for one another. The Coach enjoys the strawberry souffles, hand-embroidered towels and pillow cases Gordy makes in his free time. Gordy loves animals and is the proud owner of an immaculately groomed dog called Fabio. He is an expert on pet care and worries about the welfare of any animal entrusted to Angela (as seen in the episode "Turtle Confessions" when Angela was looking after Gina's pet turtle
Sheldon). Gordy spent almost an entire episode ("Gordy in a Plastic Bubble") wearing rubber gloves and a face mask, refusing to leave his house, after looking at an eyelash under a microscope. In spite of Gordy's outward appearance and mannerisms, he is deeply in love with Gina Lash, but his love is never returned (perhaps because Gina appears to be embarrassed at this).
accent, but occasionally laces it with the cadence of a French one when she speaks. Her hair is golden blonde and styled into long Victorian-style ringlets
in emulation of her mother's look (though it is strongly suggested in the episode "Gordy in a Plastic Bubble" that she dyed her hair blonde after Gina Lash looks at a strand of her hair under a microscope and sees that the roots of her hair are actually brunette like her father's hair). She is manipulative and has wrapped Mrs Brinks around her finger with constant praise and gifts, although Mrs Brinks has had moments of anger with Nanette, such as the ending of the episode "Return to Sender" after learning the truth about being a pawn (and "being un-French and uncouth"), giving her detention when Angela read an insult she wrote about Mrs Brinks, and in the episode "Earhart's Heirloom" where she accidentally called Mrs Brinks' birthday
"nothing". The perfect little angel to most adults (including her indulging parents Howell and Bunny), Nanette is devious, cunning, arrogant, snob
bish and mean, exercising the worst of her traits on Angela and her friends. This likely is the fault of her doting parents (who are snobs themselves), who fail to see how rotten their daughter really acts at school and never punish her for things she does wrong. However, in "The Substitute", she, January, and Karlene, unlike their classmates, are shown to not have a very good relationship with Ms. Klump (Geri), as the woman constantly forgets Nanette's name, dislikes Nanette's snobbery, and likes Angela. She is very proud of her looks, constantly bouncing her golden, curled hair, and she considers herself to be very beautiful, which may be true as her mom is very lovely. Her interests are a posh variety of activities such as baton twirling
, ballet
, painting, gymnastics and ice skating
. Nanette uses her family's wealth and high status as a way of asserting her superiority over her classmates, especially and specifically Angela and her friends. Because of her French first and last name, Nanette arrogantly believes that she is full-blooded French - a belief shared only by her mother Bunny. She sprinkles her conversation with misapplied French phrases, explaining their meaning incorrectly; for example, she believes "liaison" is French for "lesson", "crème brûlée
" is French for "prove it", and "Crêpe Suzette
" is French for "overpriced pancake
"; however, she uses applied French words and phrases in other instances. For example, in "Angela Who", she orders a large pizza "maintenant" (which is French for "now" or "right now"), and in "Puppy Love", she uses the French word "perdu", which means "lost". In "The Substitute", she uses a Japanese phrase, strongly implying that she may just be a girl that loves languages, or in other episodes, strongly hinted to be an aspiring Francophile
. She also erroneously believes that Marie Antoinette
was a natural born French queen (she did rule France but she was actually from Austria). Nanette's mother speaks with a Southern American accent while her father has an accent similar to that of John F. Kennedy
, actually making her American (though perhaps her ancestors were immigrants to the United States from France). Nanette has a huge wardrobe
full of designer originals, but nearly always wears a French girls' state school school uniform
to school, complete with a beret
(In the episode "You're So Vain" she wears a rather flamboyant pink frock
with a deep pink beret (also seen in "Puppy Love"); in the episode "Goodbye Mrs Brinks" she dresses as a stereotypical punk
and even nicknames herself as "Bruiser", and she wears pink lacy pajamas
when she goes to sleep at night). She owns a poodle
named Ooh La La, who is male, and her dog had a relationship with Angela's dog King in the episode "Puppy Love". She has a personal butler
named Alfredo, who provides for her (and has been her caregiver
and guardian
ever since she was a baby as seen in "Touched by an Angel-a") but doesn't care much about her family. She also won the heart of a young Arabian prince in the episode "Who's Sari Now", the force of the wind blowing her hair (making her look a lot like Medusa
) ruins it to the point that the prince is disgusted by her. Despite being nasty, Nanette does hold many talents, such as spending the entire episode "Don't Overdue It" balancing a book on her head (and staining it with hair gel
) and writing a "three act Greek
tragedy
" in the episode "Ancient Greeks" and casting all of her classmates in "the lesser roles" such as Jimmy Jamal as Zeus
, Johnny Abatti as an eagle
, Gina Lash as Dionysus
, Gordy Rhinehart as Hercules
, and Angela with a multitude of roles because she was disgusted by Angela's acting performance. In the episode "I Wanna Mould Your Band" she, January and Karlene appear to be singing the song "Everybody Wants to be a French Girl" very well, though it was later revealed that they were "lip syncing" using a speaker
concealed inside Nanette's beehive
wig
(which was extremely heavy because of it), which causes Nanette and her posse to be disqualified from a Tastee Twirl talent contest.
while January is African-American. Sporting bouffant
hairdos, preppy
clothing and beauty moles, they are very concerned with their appearance and look to Nanette for fashion guidance (mainly about facials and makeup). When Nanette makes a statement, January instantly agrees and then Karlene agrees "even more" (though in "Return to Sender" the agreements are switched around so that January agrees "even more", and in "Slice of Life", Nanette irritably asks the two if they could be quiet for at least five seconds). Despite their unyielding devotion to Nanette they are fickle; such as in the episode "Fairweather Friends" when Nanette was bedridden with a head cold, they found themselves without a leader and instantly latched onto Angela, who had the high-status job of organizing the school’s spring fling decorations. However, once Nanette got over her cold, they came back to their leader at the drop of a dime, instantly abandoning Angela, but with a little regret as they were drenched with water from the Manoirs' swimming pool. Nanette and January actually had a falling-out with Karlene in the episode "Kar-Lean on Me" just because Karlene's rich father never brought her a hat made of real fur after cutting her allowance
, resulting in Karlene hanging out with Angela and co. However, it is revealed later in the episode that Karlene was only hanging with them so she could save enough money to buy a real fur hat (since she believed in having fun by spending money, and claiming that she had saved $120 in the time she spent with Angela). Angela later gets even by making Karlene the gang's personal servant in the treehouse by making her serve them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
, Josephine acts as a moral rudder for her classmates. She’s sweet, loving and forgiving, but stern when she sees injustice. She set up a confessional
in the girl's washroom, where her friends come to talk to her about their stresses and worries. She is well liked by her classmates, but like with Angela, Mrs. Brinks cares very little about her and at one point she snatches a $200 check from Josephine's hands when she revealed that she "cheated" during a charity bike race. (She claimed to have been aided by St. Christopher). Josephine urges Angela to see the good in Nanette instead of hating her (as seen in the episode "Touched By an Angel-a"), but is surprised when she [Josephine] can't find any good qualities herself. Josephine frequently delivers praise and sometimes glows with a heavenly, serene light. She'd rather be in a Catholic school
, but makes the best of her public school experience. Josephine comes from a large family (at least 19 brothers and sisters). In the episode "Cabin Fever" it is revealed that her Bronx-sounding mother has agoraphobia
. Angela pretended that she had agoraphobia in order to skip school
and then avoid clapping the blackboard erasers, though Mark and Derek brought a "get well package" home with them which was the erasers. She usually dresses in a Catholic school's school uniform. As revealed in "The Haunting of Angela Anaconda", she's against the observance of Halloween
because she thinks it will make her a sinner.
, which gets confiscated by Mrs. Brinks in the episode "Curse of the Mummy") and talking about his Turbo Trainers, which make him run very fast. He is the son of the mayor of Tapwater Springs. In the episode "The Bird Lady of Tapwater Springs" Angela "heals" his pet iguana
Albert (who is female) who seemed to be depressed

decal. She has long red hair in a ribbon. She hesitates a lot, draws her words out and often confuses herself. She isn’t allowed near sharp objects and loves playing with glitter
and paste. She may be older than the other kids and is unsurprisingly the tallest child in the classroom, since she could have been held back a year due to her unintelligence. She refuses to believe two plus two equals four because she thinks that since two times two equals four, two plus two must equal a smaller number (her examples of numbers smaller than four are three and five).
wig which hides her short ginger hair, and she dresses in a long-skirted schoolmarm dress, hiding her old figure. Although she’s not a bad teacher, she’s easily manipulated and plays favorites, her decisions always favoring Nanette, whom she sees as the perfect little girl, although there have been moments when Nanette has gotten in trouble with her. Unfortunately, Mrs. Brinks is biased against Angela and is very strict and callous with her (making her the second least favorite character on the show), though in the episode "Jiggly Fruit Classic" she and Angela overcome their differences in order to get old Jiggly Fruit back. Mrs. Brinks likes to believe she's sophisticated and succumbs easily to flattery. She thinks Angela is a bizarre, trouble-making and wayward girl, and constantly punishes her for things she didn't do by making her clap the chalkboard
erasers (something Angela has since become very good at) among other punishments. Mrs. Brinks made Angela the top of her class when she believes Angela's poem about her dog is about her [Brinks] in the episode "You're So Vain". She and her frail, generous, and long-suffering husband, Conrad Brinks are rumored to be weekend nudists. Angela and her gang often peer into the Brinks' backyard from Angela's tree house
to find out if this rumor is true, though the show only shows Angela and her friend's reactions to what they see (later, the rumor is confirmed when Angela tricks Nanette into going in to the backyard). In "Brinks of No Return", Mr. Brinks reveals that he and Mrs. Brinks used to have a very loving relationship before Nanette came into her life. In the episode "Earhart's Heirloom" she claims to have the compass
of Amelia Earhart
and promises to show it to the class but only if they behave for 30 days running (it is later revealed that the compass was made in Taiwan
in 1995 and it was all a scam to get the class to behave). It is revealed in the episode "The Bird Lady of Tapwater Springs" that she has an artificial hip which prevented her from dancing.
In the episode "The Great Granny Grudge", it is revealed that Conrad Brinks used to go out with Johnny and Angela's grandmothers.

However, once Nanette got over her cold, they came back to their leader at the drop of a dime, instantly abandoning Angela, but with a little regret as they were drenched with water from the Manoirs' swimming pool.
